I used the Dynafit Vulcan a few times, amazingly capable boot. In the end I went for a pair of Salomon Quest Pros as realistically I'm gonna be spending way more time heading downhill that up, and am never going to be touring for that long, or with enough equipment that a lighter boot will make a difference. Also that fact that I'm invariably gonna be skiing on something over 110 underfoot and with a heavy binding negates any weight difference in the boot!
My colleague has got great things to say about the Black diamond touring boots, he uses them 90% of the time and doesn't feel they're lacking in downhill performance. Quite a small last though, so you have to have narrow feet!

I'm going to try and persuade Mrs TSK that we want to go to Solden.
Am also thinking about getting some touring planks and skins. Oh and a pair of the sexy lightweight boots that come with them. I was in Mayrhofen last season and on the obligatory mid-week, feeling knackered walking around the shops gear fiddling session I picked up a pair that were lighter than my trainers. They also cost a grand so maybe not those. Mrs TSK has a pair and copes very well on the downhill and always has seems to have fun on the flats and uphill.
